Blimey, another whole bunch of tea samples I've not seen before. Are they recent aquisitions or have you had them tucked away?

Would like to see some close ups.

I figure a fair portion of your collection are European and a lot of them British. Do you buy many of them in Aus or do you have to import most of them?

Anyway, fantasic show as always.

 Here's one i picked up at Peterborough on Friday.

two inches high  ..Lyles golden syrup...  a sample tin ?

 Nice little syrup tin Ken , not seen that size before

madwon , I like the Emblem tofffee 
If you decide to let it go Pete..   relics@iprimus.com.au 

 Hilbert .. most of my tins are Australian or British ..Do have a few European tins , . a few from Canada , US
If they appeal , I'll want them , but not all tins appeal to me , even some of the sought after British tins .

A sample of Cacao Cida, the smallest of the series. 

 Small spring loaded coin holder for sixpences .
Promotional item for Robur tea 

" Robur is good tea "

 Typhoo tea miniature tinplate coal scuttle 
Embossed lid  " Sumner's Typhoo Tipps Tea "

I've had this for years but never had it displayed because I don't like the look of it . 
Looks like it's been hand painted at some stage . 
Anybody know what colour this would have been originally and what colour the embossed advertising was . Might be worth touching up 

I know what you mean. Would look OK in better nick and with the text picked out.

Never seen one before.
